Genesis 5:21
19 And after he had become the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.
20 So Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
When Enoch was 65 years old, he became the father of Methuselah.
22 And after he had become the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.
23 So Enoch lived a total of 365 years.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
